SAI Global announces Standard 1.2.7 seminar

SAI Global has announced it will present a seminar on Standard 1.2.7, the new Health Claims standard. The seminar will cover all the ‘need to knows’ of the standard.

The seminar will be held in Sydney on 11 November, Melbourne on 14 November and Brisbane on 4 December. It will be presented by compliance specialist James Elton, who is an expert in the implementation of food safety management systems and a food labelling specialist.

• look at the ways market leaders are currently taking advantage of Standard 1.2.7,
• consider alternate promotion methods where Standard 1.2.7 cannot be used for a particular food,
